In re: "difficult to make dressers into a housing item that can be placed anywhere", it's not about difficulty of implementation. The point isn't that furniture can be moved, or that the movabilty of furniture might somehow cause problems. It's about data access and transfer. If using the dresser feels inconvenient, then it's doing its job--namely, reducing the frequency with which the data gets accessed and sent across the network by requiring that we go out of our way to use it. They don't want to allow access points in places where people already are likely to spend lots of their downtime.
